How do you make Game of Thrones even more epic? Simple: have a 90-minute episode in the new season.

Showrunners David Benioff and Dan Weiss hyped up the seventh and penultimate season of the HBO drama series, giving teases on what fans can expect.

When asked by Entertainment Weekly if there are any "super-sized episodes" this season, Weiss said: "There is definitely one that is considerably over 60. We have two episodes over 60 minutes this year."

"It always amazed me when I watched Breaking Bad and they could get every episode so perfect and they would all be like 42 minutes and 40 seconds or something – which is its own separate skill amongst everything else that went into making a show that [creator] Vince Gilligan and his team were able to do.

"One of the things we're lucky about is, we don't have the same pressure.

"We have one episode that's coming in around 90 minutes and another that's going to be our shortest episode at 50 minutes. Those episodes are better at those lengths but I'm glad we didn't have the additional pressure Vince had."
